> When users add memories to the app, they'll usually add content such as images. We don't want to (and we don't) hold these, either—at least not in a way we can see them. We primarily store these images on your device, but because the size of this storage is limited, we do have a system for storing assets such as images that have been encrypted on-device, and the actual photo contents or the decryption keys are never sent to us. We store data for users, here, but to us it looks like random noise (the binary ciphertext), never like a photo of whatever it is you're storing a photo of.
Just for clarification, you are storing on your servers encrypted versions of all of the pictures the user enters? Just not storing keys?
If so - storing encrypted user data is not necessarily the end of the world, but why advertise it as though you aren't storing user data at all? You are doing what many other companies do, which is store encrypted user data. Backblaze does the same thing. Or maybe I am misunderstanding.
- sunshinerag 2y agoI read it as the encrypted data is on the user's devices and not servers?
